Peapack, Music in the Somerset Hills will present the Somerset Hills Community
Chorus in a performance of Fauré’s Requiem,
as well as other masterworks by French composers. Tickets are $20 for the
general public, $15 for seniors, and $10 for students, and may be reserved

the Somerset Hills, including its year-long music workshops for people of all
ages, and its summer instrumental, vocal and music technology camps for young
people. 

This
program is presented as part of Music in the Somerset Hills’ Community Concerts
series.  Currently in its third season, the series runs from October
through June, and features some of the New York Metropolitan Area's finest
professional vocalists, instrumentalists and ensembles performing in beautiful
and varied venues throughout the area.  Overseen
by Artistic Director Stephen Sands, Music in the Somerset Hills was established
to provide residents of the Somerset Hills and the surrounding region with an
unparalleled variety of opportunities to hear, perform and learn about the
world's great classical music.  The organization is committed to an
exceptional level of historically-informed and masterful performance, as well
as to expanding the scope and variety of performance opportunities for
professional and amateur musicians who live and work in the region, and
creating opportunities for all people to pursue excellent musical education and
find fellowship. 

This program is made possible, in part, by
funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a
Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and administered by the
Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission through the State/County
Partnership Local Arts Program.  Support for Music in the Somerset Hills
is also provided by Peapack-Gladstone Bank, and by a generous grant from the
Isabel and Algernon M. Ellien Foundation.  More information may be found
